Product Description
I Love Lucy has been charming television viewers since 1951 with 172 hilarious episodes. This nostalgic doll brings back the days of everyone's favorite redhead on television.
Lucille Ball's all-time favorite "I Love Lucy" episode - "The Operetta" - has wacky Lucy Ricardo borrowing money from her woman's club treasury. Then the group needs the money to stage an operetta! To save the $100 royalty fee, Lucy writes her own musical about Lily of the Valley (Ethel) and Prince Lancelot (Ricky) whose love is thwarted by the gypsy queen, Camille (Lucy). Lucy rents costumes and scenery using a postdated check, assuming the money to cover the expenses will be available in the club account after the show! Naturally, the production is interrupted by moving men repossessing the sets and costumes and Lucy is carried off stage, singing and slapping her tambourine. Doll measures approximately 13.47" tall.

Zany Lucy
This is yet another great LUCY doll. She is every bit the zany redhead as on the T.V.show. This couldn't be made any more perfect. It's like looking at the women herself. A real collectors item as with the rest of the series of dolls. I am just missing one of the dolls and I wouldn't sell my collection for anything. They made one Lucille Ball person and these dolls are just one of a kind like the lady herself. Good work Matel!
Fun and Funny
I can't imagine why people who don't have this doll feel they can do a decent review from a tiny picture. the outfit is well made, the jewelery is detailed and frankly the whole doll in real life looks much better than in the image used here. I also don't understand why some people who left reviews can't understand that I love Lucy was a Comedy show and that the characters and dolls are supposed to be amusing .
Anyone who has ever been involved in an amateur theatrical production or even sat through a performance of one will know how funny this particular Lucy episode is and will really enjoy this doll!
One Disappointing Gypsy!
I was so disappointed to see the newest edition to the I Love Lucy Collection. I am a huge fan of every other doll but the fascination stopped there! Her cheesy black teeth, ugly colored, cheaply made clothing were not up to the standard of the other dolls. Waiting around for the next one....
